What is the production status of Maestro?

Official Production Status: Filming (Last updated: May 2022)

We previously reported that filming was scheduled to begin in April 2021, but for some unknown reason, filming was delayed. Once again, updates to IMDb for Maestro showed the status has changed from pre-production to filming as of October 12th, 2021. That was swapped again to April and now we can confirm new production sheets state that Maestro is set to film in May 2022.

The first batch of filming began on May 21st, in Tanglewood, Massachusetts, and is scheduled to end by July 12th, 2022.

Once filming is done in Massachusetts, production will then move to New York for an undisclosed period of time before further filming that will take place in Italy in September 2022.

There’s no word on when the production dates are scheduled for filming in London, England.

Several companies are credited with working on Maestro, including; Joint Effort, Sikelia Productions, Fred Berner Films, and Amblin Entertainment.

When is the Netflix release date?

With filming not due to now begin until the summer, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see Maestro launch on Netflix in 2022. Given the subject matter, it could easily be one of the movies Netflix opts to release for awards seasons meaning late 2023. Of course, until the cameras are rolling, that’s all speculation.
